The absinthe spoon or grille is used to prepare absinthe in the traditional French method of louching. To louche an absinthe, pour an ounce of absinthe into your glass and place your absinthe spoon atop the glass and a sugar cube on the spoon. Slowly pour or drip ice cold water from a fountain, carafe or brouilleur over the sugar cube. The addition of water dissolves the cube and lowers the alcohol concentration in the glass. As the alcohol concentration falls, the herbs and botanicals held in the absinthe are released turning the drink milky white forming the louche. While the louche is forming, you can enjoy the beautiful aroma of the botanicals being released.

This is a gift for my husband that I think will make him very happy! It is a beautiful spoon which will always be a reminder of our trip to Paris and will go well with his Absinthe glass!

Gorgeous spoon! The detail is intricate and it has a "feel" of quality like tableware. Some spoons look good in the pictures only to disappoint in person. This spoon looks exactly like the images. Very pleased!

I bought a glass set here last fall but did not have money for spoons. I decided I wanted something nice so I went with the Eifel Tower spoons. No other way to put it but simply stunning in appearance. Beautiful detail and rather thick with a nice weight. This is not ebay crap but what a real absinthe spoon should be. Kudos to Absinthe On The Net for carrying quality pieces. A+
